French start-up Connected Cycle creates a smart pedal that prevents bike theft by instantly notifying the owners when the bike is moved, and allowed it to be located at anytime. The user can also locate where the bike was last parked.

The pedal automatically records the speed, route, incline, and calories burnt of every single bike trip and the statistics are sent to the cloud, and connected to the smartphones. The pedal is totally self governing; generating its own energy, and using its own Internet connexion. There is no need to charge a battery or carry your smartphone during trips.

Installation takes less than 2 minutes, however the pedal can only be removed using a special coded key that only the bike owner posesses. The pedal is elegantly designed with a robust conception with aluminium casing.
